Dresses

Cocktail Dresses

From a work party to a bridal shower, cocktail dresses are a versatile piece in any closet. A cocktail dress hemline falls at or just below the knee, which makes them appropriate for both formal and semi-formal events. When selecting a cocktail dress, consider the event and season—darker colors and luxe fabrics work well for evening gatherings, while brighter shades and light materials are better for daytime events and summer.

Party Dresses

A party dress can be many things, but they usually have fun elements like bold colors, shiny sequins, or short hemlines. The short hemline tends to make the dress more casual while being easier to dance or travel around in. For a fun party or night out, don't be afraid to embrace your glamorous, sexy side.

Wedding Guest Dresses

From the bridal shower to the wedding day, dresses are the usual go-to outfit for wedding events. Dressing for each event requires an understanding of the dress code, season, and venue. Always choose a dressier style if you're unsure of the setting, and generally avoid colors like white, off-white, and black.

Casual Dresses

Make any day special with a casual dress for running errands or getting dinner. What makes a dress casual is usually a combination of its fabric, length, and style. Casual dresses are typically made from breathable fabrics like cotton or linen, which are perfect for everyday wear. Common styles include the classic T-shirt dress, wrap dresses, or tennis dresses. A relaxed fit and shorter hemline allow you to move around easily, especially if you pair with sneakers or sandals.

Latest Trends and Styles to Know

Mini Dresses

A mini dress is defined by its hemline which hits above the knee. Mini dresses can be skintight, flowy, or feminine. You can also try a sexy, halter, bodycon style for a night out.

Midi Dresses

Midi dresses have a longer, mid-length hemline that falls in between your knee and ankle. These dresses are easy to style for more formal occasions with a pair of heels and a clutch. For a casual day out, throw on a pair of sneakers and style with a jacket. Trendy styles like bubble dresses, knit dresses, and tiered dresses usually come in midi length.

Maxi Dresses

Maxi dresses are known for full-length skirts that make a statement. Try a feminine, floral dress for events and backyard parties. Our ultra-flattering maxi slip dresses have a slinky silhouette that hugs curves.

Slip Dresses

Slip Dresses are central to the “underwear as outerwear” trend. Originally worn as a chemise under layers of clothing, slip dresses were worn on their own ever since the renaissance and became an iconic piece of 90s minimalist fashion. Satin slip dresses are popular for having a subtle luxurious look and feel. On the other hand, our Feathersoft Bodywear Essentials Slip clings to curves and can be worn as loungewear.

Corset Dresses

Corsets are a chic and timeless addition to any dress style. They are defined by a fitted bodice that cinches the waist and creates an hourglass silhouette. They often feature lace-up details that not only provide a customizable fit but also add a touch of elegance and intrigue to the outfit. Many dresses put the corset structure and lacing front and center, while others might be hidden and less visible. Corset dresses can be found in various fabrics, such as satin or velvet, which enhance their sophisticated appeal.

Denim Dresses

For a more casual option, denim dresses have a chic urban look. Dress them up with a pair of boots or heels or keep it casual with sneakers and a tote bag. Look out for details like button-down fronts or stylish collars. Just like a pair of jeans, denim dresses are available in different washes, from light to dark.

Halter Neck Dresses

Halter neck dresses are a popular choice for a soft, feminine, borderline-retro look. These dresses are defined by a halter neckline which wraps around the neck in one strap, leaving the shoulders, arms, and back more exposed. The effect is elegant, alluring, and feminine. Halter necklines draw attention to the shoulders and creates a flattering look that works well for nearly all body types.

Seasonal Dresses

Sundresses

“Sundress season” can be all year round, but there’s nothing quite like wearing one in the summer. Sundresses are appropriate for most occasions from a casual coffee date or as a wedding guest dress. The combination of lightweight fabric, flowy skirt, and fitted bodice makes it an easy choice. Sundresses have been in style since the 1960s, earning a spot as a staple in every woman’s closet.

Long Sleeve Dresses

Long sleeve dresses can also be worn throughout the year but usually make a great winter or fall dress. In cooler months, you might choose one made from heavier fabrics like wool or knit to stay warm, while lighter fabrics like cotton or chiffon are perfect transitional pieces in the spring. The sleeves themselves will vary with options like bell sleeves, balloon sleeves, or even fitted sleeves. Style a long sleeve dress with boots or layer a sleek jacket for even more warmth.
